We struggle to get our daughter to brush her teeth regularly, use mouth wash, and she absolutely REFUSES to floss. But she’s begging for braces. I flat out told her I will not pay for braces if she isn’t going to take care of her teeth. I want her to be confident with her smile but braces aren’t going to help if her teeth start rotting. If we don’t keep on her she’ll go days without brushing. 😫😫
I heard water and Mosistat.. on your hair helps it grow!? Soo!?? I'm going to try!
